P.S.......

Poor Georgie is afraid that you will think he was the one who screamed the "HOMO" insult below.....it was not him......remember .....George is straight but not narrow. (I love that line.) It was some yahoo redneck in the stands......his ( the redneck's) face was painted for the game...sigh........grown men talking about homo's when they are wearing a ton of blue and red pancake. The irony is just staggering.

My BACK!!!!

Owwie.....

Ever since dancing on the street car tracks on Dundas and Roncesvalles at 7:00am....oh ya after being up all night my back has not been the same, babies.

I went for a massage today and it was great but right after...I felt like I might puke....now I ask you...is that normal?

George said it was as he drew me a ebsom ( that might be the wrong spelling but isn't just knowing that enough?) salt bath.

ohhh.

Georgie took me to Buffalo for my Birthday on Sunday.....yes, my birthday lasts a good long time.

I wanted to go to the Anchor bar which is the birth place of the Buffalo Chicken Wing.....ah...it all makes sense. I love it there.

So, since we were gonna be there George got us tickets to the Bills - Jets home opener.

That is football for those of you who are like....what the eff is that?

Yes, I am a fan of the NFL....aren't I a
Renaissance woman. ( I went to spell check for that one) The game was good! The players are so burly. My my.

I think my Georgie would have been great out there. Maybe I can at least make him get a pair of those pants.

One thing I didn't know we still allowed in this world was for a grown man to lean over the stands into the field and call the ref....." ya fuckin' homo".

Oh my.

I was deeply offended.

That was the best he could come up with?

Loser.

Anyhow...our friends Mark and Blythe came to join us for wings. We had a great time...I am glad to know that 38 year olds are allowed to laugh like teenagers.

They got me pair of pajamas for my birthday....and George a pair too.

After the wings and then a long cab ride around the city in search of beer and chocolate....because we are nothing if not classy.......we went back to the hotel and Blythe said....lets get into our jammies and drink beer and eat chocolate.

That sounded great but we had one problem....my jammies were too big and Georgies' were too small so we thought....because we are professional entertainers....that he should wear mine and I his....tee hee....won't we be funnny. When they knocked I could hardly contain my mirth.

When I opened the door there were Mark and Blythe with pajama's to match ours.........they thought they had us damn it.....but when they saw my husband in my pink pajamas with butt clevage....

I knew we had the kicker.

Oh.....good times were had by all.

So, I feel a bit better in the back area and I am putting together the next show...woo hoo.

I am very excited.....it is going to be my first ALL New Show in a while. I am gonna pull out all the stops.

Look out baby!

Spell This!

I know....I know....

My spelling leaves a little to be desired.

The comic need to spell the last word wrong was something I fought with for a couple of minutes...but I think I did the right thing.

While Georgie read my last blog he told me that he thought that I should use spell check.

Know what I think?

Spell check is for pussies.

So, I will now try to do my best to write properly so my husband can read it.

Humph.

Okay.

Last night I went to see a show that my hubby is in called "Glory Days" at Theatre Aquarius.

That is in Hamilton for those of you who don't know.

The show was about the Stelco strike that happened in the fourties and how it affected the town.

Now, for a lover of the musical theatre I was a bit scared.

Though I know the show has some union songs in it ...I was sure that I might be bored out of my tree.

But no, my friends.

I am happy to report that it was quite a night.

Very well cast and the actors are at the top of their game.

All led by first time director Lee MacDougal.

Lee wrote "High Life"...a play that has won much acclaim and has been performed all over the world.

I saw him for the first time in a dress playing a role in "The Boyfriend" at Stratford years ago.

( May I add that he was awesome in that)

Anyway, I totally enjoyed myself and was reminded why I think my husband is one of the best actors I know.

He broke my heart as well as my mother-in-laws heart right beside me.

Enough soft stuff.

I decided to wear an awesome dress that I aquired from "Fashion Crimes" that I hadn't had a chance to try out yet.

It is a bit low cut.

Not totally inappropriate but still daring.

Whilst I made my intermission trip to the Ladies

Room a woman in a powder blue suit and ruffled top who appeared to be in her early sixties stared at my decollatage and then into my eyes and then repeated the gesture a couple more times.

I responded by circling the afore mentioned area with my "pointer" finger ( that is what I like to call it) and saying

" Never seen this before?"

And walking away before she could respond.

Eff her.

I effing hate Tyra......

It is like a car accident that I can't stop watching.....

I cannot stop myself from pressing the record button on the PVR.

America's Next Top Model goes against everything I believe to be good in this world but it is TV crack.

I taped the two hour opener ....for George, to be completely honest......and sat there and watched the whole thing.

I just love how they take it so seriously.....like it is important ....like.....university or dinner or something.

One girl...named Evita...I shit you not....left her two children at home, while her soldier husband is in Iraq to pursue this dream...." I had the American dream of the soldier, the model and the two children...." Evita proclaims...

Did I miss that dream?

Did they forget to tell the world that one?

OH YA!!!>>>>>>

And they made the girls, who's ages begin at 18, take off their clothes for their first photo shoot!~!~~!!

It was like Coco in Fame....the movie, people, not the TV show.

I just kept shaking my head and pinching George ( I cannot pinch myself as my skin is tender) to see if I was truly in La La Land.

And you guys know I love a drag queen as much as the next cabaret singer but.....

Miss J?

Pulease.

Get a life Miss J.

I love it when he starts a shot in pants and then ten seconds later he is in a skirt or better yet......he just takes off his pants and straps on 6 inch heels.

"Super Queen!

Able to shed clothes, swirl , strut down a runway and put down 10 people in the bat of a false eyelash!"

And the blond headed bitchy guy?

Whatever.

He wore a shirt last night that was rejected at some point by a twelve year old at La Senza Girl.

And then there is the cake.

Tyra friken Banks.

Her Momma musta put her in a little glass case and then let her grow up.

Her personality just screams spoiled brat.

My favourite thing....the thing that makes George laugh because it drives me insane....at the end of the show when she does her whole

" I have 10 beautiful girls in front of me....."

speech...she can't say

" America's Next Top Model"

without starting in a normal voice and then dropping down to a barely heard whisper by then end.

EVERY YIME SHE SAYS IT!

I can just hear her acting coach telling her people will think she is serious if she does that.

And, I am not done, she has a face that she puts on when she is trying to be sincere.

She squints her eyes and effects a half smile.

IT DRIVES ME INSANE!!!

I can't wait till next week.

PMS-Y but.....happy

"OHHHHH...what a night......mid september back in '06"

...

Remember that song?

"Oh.....I got a funny feelin' when she walked...in the room"

blah.....

Ya know how I love the retro tunes...

Well ...what a night it was....It was a mighty lovely group of peeps on and off the stage.

I do have the best seat in the damned house.

And I do love the Gladstone.

My guests were so diverse and I was just bowled over by their talent....Kathryn Rose sings like a bird.....and people flicked to buy her CD...which you can also get at her website

kathryrose.com

She has such an original sound and I watched the audience sit farther forward in their seats as she began her set.

The "Songs for a New World" people killed....oh ya ...disclaimer..I was in that part.....but we still killed......after "Flying Home" we got a standing ovation....I know it was a bit for Thom but we will all take the credit cause that is the kinda people we are!

And SURPRISE...............

Jennifer Stewart just lit up the stage.......

She sang from the Spelling Bee and from Footloose and from

Rocky Horror....

she just sang so purdy.....

And her sweet heart , Sammy, was my card bitch for the sing-a-long which was by far the best one sooooo far....

FOOTLOOSE....

I broke the group into three and then we all rocked out on the C section of the song.....

It is a challenge to pick something that will be fun for the audience.

But

I also love it when they sing with me on other tunes.

Like they did on "Tainted Love"

....gotta love the tainted love, baby....

For a birthday night it all felt pretty special...there were some new faces and the old faithfuls who I always am sooo happy to see...........

my Hamilton Crew...thanks.....

little Scotty Fink...he always warms my heart

...Great Grampa Randy....

Harry got a T-shirt.......

James' work buds...Graham....Kimball and Jay....Weesie and Rob...

Shout out...holllaaaaaa!

You are appreciated by all of the Sharron's Party Crew.

Yes, we do have our own crew.

And I got to sing a little Sondheim....how could that be wrong?

Now....I am just crampy .....

But happy....

I laid on the couch and read romance novels and ate cookies all date...isn't that a lovely white trash way to wind down?

Then I will go on an 8 hour bike ride tomorrow.

Then it begins again!!!

Oh ya.....for those of you who don't know....we have a line up change.. Adam Brazier had to cut out on the Oct 16th date but

we have an awesome addition....

Dora award winner for Real Live Girl and start of this season's Slings and Arrows

DAMIEN ATKINS!!!

Woo hoo.

I will be putting up the changes and the dates for Songs on my webpage ASAP!

I love doin' the show.

What a dream.

Life is good.

Judgers can eff off!

What? where?

What?
ZZZZZZZZZZZ................................
Oh my .....these all-night shoots?
It is the first time I have ever really done one ....it started at 4:00pm and ended with my last dance move being executed while the rain fell on my pink wig @ 6:15am....
in the morning......
holy crap.....
John Travolta looks amazing........really it is uncanny...
His wife Kelly Preston was there....
she is very tiny....
How do those Hollywood girls survive?
I could only think of the scene in "Jerry McGuire" where she is doin' it with Tom Cruise screaming " Never stop fucking me!"
She seemed lovely.
Allsion Janney, who is playing Mrs. Pingleton, was there last night....she is very tall.
And today ....
Jerry Stiller....as Mr. Pinky....I am very excited....the girl playing Tracy, Nikki, talked about how excited she was to work with him because " King Of Queens" is her favourite show.
Sweet.
She is 17....
Years old.
Can you take it?
The most amazing part of yesterday was the dancing.
We got to the set and about 100 people were dressed and made up and the dancers looked amazing.
We did what I have always dreamed of ....I got to dance in a movie musical....it was magic.
I felt very blessed.
I wonder if I can get any of them to the show on Monday???
Hmm.
I go back to set in 3 hours....
I am tired and excited..........

Rain Rain......

Is it winter?
Did we disturb the balance of the summer somehow?
Could this finally be the retribution for my wicked potty mouth?
Could I be more self-centred, that MY pottymouth would change the weather?
What if it did?
Would I stop swearing..........?
Probably not.
I have so much to accomplish today but I just can't seem to get my ass in gear.
Staples, library, work......
Ho hum....
Yesterday I finished on "Altar Boy Gang".
Had a great time...it is a very edgy script and I hope it turns out and the people like it. It was written by a lovely fellow named Norm Hiscock.
I know.
He spent three seasons writing on SNL and we chatted about my idol.....
Will Ferrell.
He mentioned that ...Will.....Mr. Ferrell.....I don't know what to call him.......was a easy going, not "ON", ordinary guy and that made me like him more. Will....Mr. Ferrell....that is ....not Norm....I already liked him....as a friend.....wow.....I am a mess.
I always wanted to ask Tina Fey what he ( W.F.) was like while we filmed Mean Girls but I didn't want to disturb my very effective "I-am-unimpressed-by-your-fame-but-I am-nice" aura that I like to wear around sets. It saves me many a time from making a fawning ass out of myself.
Well, my self tanner is almost dry so it is time to get out of the house.
I wear it for medicinal purposes.
Oh ya, who wrote the song " Oh What a Lonely Boy?"

Postcard

Dammit!

I have forgotten an important person for the last...... many weeks and am here to rectify it!
